I am not certain but I would bet that Texas is the largest cotton grower in the nation.

I have several “Texas Cotton” western shirts. I love them.

OK, a follow up question: Was it historically so? One of the biggest producers? As in, before the Civil War?

That’s my initial impression, also. Something like 30-40% of our cotton acreage might be in Texas.

Several cotton fields not far from my home in Sugar Land, TX. Some out by Needville, others by Wharton. Just drive 59 south out of Ft Bend County and you’ll see them.
